Tim Lincecum, we know what you did on your.....well winter vacation



Per Scott Hewitt of the Vancouver Columbian, Tim Lincecum is facing charges for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after being stopped for speeding on Interstate 5 in Washington last week.*

Apparently on October 30th, Lincecum was driving his 2006 Mercedes-Benz 74 mph in a 60 mph zone. (Not with pot in the car, man!)The police officer smelled marijuana after Lincecum rolled down his window and asked Lincecum to hand it over at which time Tim gave him a small pouch containing 3.3 grams of pot and a pipe. He was then cited and released.

Ok, first off, this is obviously not the crime of the century and I am not at all "outraged" or even mildly bent out of shape regarding this. I grew up in the 70's so....

I also know that it is not proper to judge somebody solely by their appearance.

That said, how many people that have that type of Beatles mop are not taking something on the illegal side.

Not making any judgements but Beatles haircut = something going on.

I am a parent. My kids (with short hair) sometimes hang out at skate parks. I just know these things.

*Do reporters randomly go through police reports hoping to find something interesting or do they (I am guessing that this is more likely) have to be tipped off to this type of stuff? Just wondering.

Raise your hand if you are surprised.

On another note, I am officially a Lincecum collector.

Maybe he can call up Geo Soto and they could work together in the off season. It's got the makings of a great stoner buddy baseball movie!

Somehow I doubt if this will change anyone's opinion of the guy. I know one thing's for sure, I definitely still gonna collect his cards! The guy's a pitching stud, as long as he's not taking steroids it doesn't bother me. Btw I love those propaganda cards! Topps really did it up right this year between the Legends of the game inserts, the sick looking SP parallels, and the propaganda cards.

Agreed Nico . . . Topps nailed it in that regard.

I'm also totally not surprised about Lincecum, nor offended. Dude can pitch.
